My anecdote of the day, had patient present who has lupus and is on plaquenil. Nasal swabs negative x3. Now intubated and tracheal aspirate sample is positive. Clearly has severe disease. Has been on 200mg bid plaquenil since 2017.

“had 6 patients so far on HCQ at baseline who came in with moderate to severe COVID-19. 3 did fine, just some O2 via NC and home in a few days, 1 needed HFNC, 2 got tubed with 1 recovering and 1 dying.
So I have no conclusions whatsoever to draw from that lol”
